I first had a version of this delicious crab linguine in Positano, on the beautiful Amalfi coast. The flavors of sweet crab meat, spicy arugula, and fresh tomatoes balance each other perfectly. Dungeness crab is ideal, if you can get it, otherwise use any good, sweet-tasting, meaty crab in this recipe.

Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Spaghetti)
Spaghetti is a common variation in modern Thai cooking. It’s so easy to work with and absorbs the garlicky, spicy notes of pad kee mao well.
Cajun Shrimp Pasta
Cajun-Creole shrimp is combined with a light cream sauce, and two together are off-the-charts delicious. It’s full of flavor without being too spicy.
Wampanoaug Clam Fritters
The clams’ natural briny sweetness serves as a surprising foil for the tender fritter batter—just be sure to pull off the tough outer coating of the siphon.
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
Tortellini in Preserved Lemon Brodo
A quick-fix dinner thanks to store-bought tortellini and chicken broth.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Green Curry Mussels
The mussels here add their beautiful, briny juices into the curry, which turn this into a stunning and spectacular dish.
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
